CHAPTER
Sometimes the lively child would
spring up. shake back her golden
Brown curIs and run away. 1t was
then the preceptor's manifest duty to
bring back the refractory pupil. While
within range of Mile. Fifne's eyes,
with the grave, slow dignity of teach
,er-then, in the full eagerness of youth
they would play hide and seek like
two merry children, until Fifne's grim
figure doomed up near by, and her
Enough of this nonsense''-recalled
them to their tasks. Then they would
again sit opposite each other, Hortense
repeating, while the dimples in her
checks deepened into an arch smile:
"Ich hGbe, du hast, er hat, y" etc.
But she remained rapt and silent when
her teacher read aloud some German
poem. That is music" she would
say. 81 feel the meaning of the words
if / do not understand them"
He never wearied of reading to her
from Eichcndorf, his favorite poet.
These lines impressed her as so beauti-
full that she begged him to copy them
for her in French characters 50 that she
might learn them by heart:
"Ihear brooklet murmur,
Now far now near, il seems;
Through the forest at its murmur
pass on as in dreams.
"The nightingales trill softly
In the silent, leafy ways;
And the burden Of their singing
Is thu lovely Olden days.
"Beneath the moonbeam's simmer
II seems fair, near,
That castle in the valley
That lies so far from here.
"As If within that garden
or roses white and red,
She still for me were waiting
My darling, long years dead"
Once-summer was already passing
with light footsteps through the land
when Arnim, ut his pupils request,
had recited these dreamy verses, Hor-
tense rose suddenly, and with feverish
haste plucked a nosegay from the red
lroses and white lilies, which blOomed
in wild luxuriance in the garden, and
laid it on the table before him. He
carried it in his hand as he went home,
.delighting in its beauty and fragrance.
What a dear, kind-hearted creature she
was, this little girl! Even his mother,
spite of those "reminiscences of 1872,
could but love her.
The next noon when Arnim returned
from the gymnasium, he found a letter
from the Marquis. 1t contained check
and some obligatory words of courtesy,
expressing much regret that the les
sons must be discontinued for season,
as his daughter was about to visit Paris.
Arnim persuaded himself that brief
pause in the lessons would be the best
thing for him, As his examinations were
near at hand. He also decided that he
would make no attempt to bid Hortense
farewell. that in his visits to the forest
he would choose path not leading by
the latticed gate.
If the roses and lilies in that glass of
water had only been less enchanting in
their perfume as he came to this con-
~clusion! He was about to throw them
>out of the window; but why make the
poor flowers answer for reminding him
of the garden where they grew?
He kept his resolution until evening,
then he wandered again along the dear
sold path, past the garden gate. He
wanted to say to his pupil that in her
absence he should no longer pass this
way. To let her go without one part

George Washington. Land S,rrvexn

Professor Herbert B. Adams. of Johns
Hopkins University, in sketch of William
and Mary College, for the United States
Bureau of Education, refers to Washington
as q surveyor The land system of Vir-
ginia was early placed in control of the col
lege authorities who appointed the Sur
veyOr-General and all county surveyors
In 1749 William and Mary College gave
such county certificate to George Wash
ington, then only II years of age; and this.
the equivalent of q degree in civil engineer
ing, says Professor Adams, gave peculiar
bias to Washington's life before and after
the revolution. His early practical career
as a surveyor of land made him first favor
ably known to influential Virginians, for
competent men were scarce this led TO his
appointment as a militia officer in the de-
tense of the Virginia frontier against French
encroachment, and his intimate knowledge
of this back country, acquired as a sur
veyOr, led to his diplomatic commission to
the French outposts in the Ohio valley
From this expedition of Washington, at
the age of 81, when he surveyed French
forts and French schemes, with all the skill
with which he had formerly surveyed land,
proceeded the entire train of English policy
leading to war with France. The frontier
war established the military reputation of
Washington, and finally made him Com
mander-in- Chiefof the revolutionary army
and the first President of the American re-
public.

though ground sulphur is frequently added
to the sublimed TO enable the merchant to
sell it cheaper All samples of Eastern
sublime sulphur examined / have found
mixed in this manner, showing that the
credit of ground sulphur has sometimes
been unconsciously extended to the So
called sublimed
Where the question of purity or fineness
arises with any vineyardist, samples may
be sent to this office, where prompt deter
mination will be made and reported with
out cost TO the applicant.
To further substantiate these recommend
tons of the ground sulphur, | will state
that of the sulphur used of late years in
California vineyards, over three-foGrths
has been ground sulphur; and have yet
to know of anyone employing sulphur ex-
tensiyely who has abandoned the ground,
or even that ground in California for the
foreign prepared or sublimed sulphur,
which latter sells at one and a quarter TO
one and half cents higher than the ground
or triturated
Ground sulphur may be easily distin-
guished from sublimed by the difference in
color, the latter always shows more yell
low, the former more white or a lighter
tint of yellow.

For the RECoRD-USIoN.l
a REVERE.

Could but search the deep unknown,
And find out all its mysteries
If, from that knowledge might learn
That death brings only happiness,
How gladly would yield up life
And seek the rest long to find
How gladly would leave the strife,
That earth youchsafes to all mankind.
Oft times when evening shadows fling
Their mantle round me in the gathering
gloom,
With silent awe gaze upon the star-gemmed
heavens,
And ask myself what lies beyond;
And, if among the clouds that pass before my
sight
A rift appears, it seems to me
An open door that leads 10 paradise
All could we only see
This earthly life with all its ceaseless care,
Seems but vague, uncertain dream,
That comes to haunt me like memory of the
past,
Wherein once shone bright golden CLEANS
OF sunshine; but now dark clouds obscure the
sky,
While hope and joy for me have long since
fed
i heart grown sad with grief can never happy
We never can recall a day that's dead
But why should repine? why murmur o. r the
fate
That destiny hath long designed for me?
By each and all life's lessons must be learned
For such is Gods decree;
Then falter not faint heart nor let thy courage
fail
Fen tho thy way through life be marked
with tears
Tho faith and hope and trust come not again
Let duty be thy guide through coming years

War on the STATIONS.

Lovers of song birds it is stated are
organizing for the purpose of exterminating
the English sparrow in this city and sec
ton. 1t appears that the sparrows have
become positive pests, not only with regard
to soaring away the gifted of the feathered
tribe, but also 10 farmers, whose seed and
young plants they devour by the wholesale.
They have extended up some distance
along the river, and wherever they have
made their appearance other birds have
been forced to fly. 1t is but a very short
time ago when mocking-birds could
be heard on the housetops of mornings,
even in the most densely settled portions
of the city. Now they are never
seen in our squares, and it is the rarest
thing to meet them in our suburbs. It is
complained that there is no compensation
in permitting the sparrows to remain. Our
trees are not infested with the disagreeable
worm so common in the north, and the
sparTows fill no place as destructive agents
in Kidding us of vermin. Along Prytania
street and ST. Charles avenue gardens and
shade-trees are almost covered by the many
hocks of these annoying birds, which pos
sess neither beauty nor song TO render
them attractive. Those pressing the move
ment against them suggest that poisoned
grain be put within reach and watched, so
that other fowls and birds may not partake
of the destructive food. = Ne7o Orleans

THE FARM.
SIGHrFALL AT THE Farm.

SIGHTFALI. AT THE FARM.
The farm hand drives home the team from the
woods,
The children, clad in warm ilannels and hoods,
Ioiter in at mothers call
For dearly they love to ride on the sled
Drawn by Jennie and old Dick;
With the, next years firewood to pile by the
shed
To season after It's split.
Dick knows the voices of the little ones,
And quickly lifts his gray head
As the merry whistle and laughter comes
To his ears around the shed.
In triumph they mount upon his broad back
Across to the barn TO ride,
And as they in mischief do nothing lack,
One on the man leans astride.
The farmer at the barn cares for the stock,
Cuts the sweet roots for the sheep.
Throws some grain TO quiet the fcathered flock
That will soon be fast asleep.
The horses and cattle watered and fed,
The cows their rich milk give down;
To each is given sweet, clean straw for bed
In plenty it's strewn around.
And now with stau of feet and noisy shout
The children come rushing in;
Bright eyed and rosy checked from playing out,
Calf tea with bOisterous din.
The fond mother prepares the meal at once,
Hangs their mittens up to dry,
Puts away the remains of their noon lunch
With peaceful light in her eye.
For. grown accustomed to their childish noise,
She loves to see their spirits gay,
Can smile still, as the boots OF her boys
Wet her carpet, bright each day.
She knows they've brought in kindlings for the
morn,
And nice. great log for tonight,
Thrown down TO the swine the bright yellow
corn.
Heaped the dish with apples bright
Soon is finished the last meal of the day.
They gather about the fire.
Mother clears the food away,
Draws chair for the grandsire,
And then tides up the room at ease,
Strains the milk and skins the cream
Happy and contented az work, she sees
The light from bright wood fires CLEAN.
Upon the walls with tasteful pictures hung,
The house dog upon the mat
Many choice books which from the city come,
Over the sleepy old cat.
The states and books are now brought forth in
haste
That each one may be prepared
With Tomorrow lesson no time they waste;
10 help them papa is glad.
And then upon the floor before the fire
Chatter aud laugh in high glee.
No fear have they of the kind-hearted sire.
Who delights their fun to see,
As S0yly they toss the apples about,
And pass the cider so sweet.
From the window the light streams brightly out
10 guide some wanderer'S feet.
But early to bed the farm inmates go;
Soon covered the bed of Goals;
The old sire, with feeble step and slow,
Goes to his rest; peace be 10 his soul.
And the little ones in warm blankets covered,
by mother snugly tucked in.
At o clock no sign of life lowered
Where such pleasant life had been.
For deep stiffness reigns over the house;
The cat asleep upon the floor;
Not sound but the nibbling of a mouse
Just outside the pantry door;
Who, owing to the housewives sly forethought
Falls into the trap prepared
And poor little captive is caught
In sight of the sweets unshared.

The Vienna PapYri.

The Vienna Mithcilungen, which COM
municates periodically the results of the
examination of the papyri of the Archduke
Rainer, contains notice by Professor
Bickell of a fragment of an ancient recen-
sion of gospel. Professor Bickell regards
it as Greek translation from the Aramaic.
Photographic facsimile of it is given,
which is about twelve centimeters square
and does not contain more than 100 Greek
MS. symbols. 1t gives the words addressed
by Christ to the Apostles after the Last
Supper, as they are recorded in St. Matthew
XVI, 80 to "a, and st. Mark xiv, % to 80,
but with notable variations. For instance
the words, AFTER | am risen, | will go
before you into Galilee," do not appear in
this fragment. The noted photographer
Wesley, believes the fragment dates
from the beginning of the third
century. Professor Bickell recalls that
Papias mentions, according to the testi-
mony of st. John the Disciple, that ST.
Matthew wrote down in Aramiac a collec-
ton of Christ's discourses, and that this
collection formed the groundwork of st.
Marks Gospel. Hence he suggests that
this fragment may really be portion of
pre-canonical gospel. Prof. j. Krall has
discovered from five fragments of papyrus
on "lEsthetics," that the lost play entitled
Scylla," hitherto attributed to Euripides,
was in truth dithyrambic poem by limo
theus, who tlourished century later. The
editor himself, Prof. Karabacek states
on the authority of one of these
papyri that the earliest mention of the
Turks by name must now be pushed back
10 sos A. c. Hitherto the earliest date, as
found in a MS. in the British Museum, at
which the Turks appear in history was set
down at o73 A. C.

A NEW TRICK or CooUETRY.-The new
est affectaton of the Fifth Avenue girls is
called the baby stare. 1t takes the place
of the roguish glance and the shy droop.
The operator of pair of eyes opens them
to their widest, fixes them directly upon
man or any other object, and calmly keeps
them so long as circumstances permit.
Neither ogle or wink is recognized by the
cool orbs thus employed in the infantile
act. They seem aware of nothing beyond
the merely ocular manifestation. 1t is a
curious freak, this baby stare, and it puz-
zled all observers for a week or two until
it became comparatively common among
the very swell maidens of the hills.-Ne,r

You CANT Mosr ALWAYS SOMETIMES
TELL. The success of General Lew Wal
lace's novel, Ben-Hur continues to be
the talk of the book trade, no less than of
the public which continues to demand it.
There is no end to its editions, or to the
number of copies the public demands
There appears to be no way of discovering
successful novel until the public has
passed judgment upon it. We have been
told that when the manuscript of Ben
Hur u was submitted to the Harpers they
gave it to four different readers, whose
judgment they are accustomed to rely
upon, to give their opinion of the book.
Two of the readers advised its acceptance
and two advised against it. The publish
ers finally decided to take the risk, and the
result has been the printing of more edi-
tons of it than of any other novel of re-
cent years.-Boston Herald.
